"GAH!" all of the sudden I was pulled down between 2 of the bus seats. "be quite will you! she's coming back.." what is he talking about? wait.. who is this kid? he was a darker skinned boy about my age, he was peeking around the corner of the seat.. i pushed him back and looked around the seat to see me sister getting back onto the bus then sitting down in one of the seats. 

i wash going to ask why we were hiding from my sister when.. "so. i don't know if your aware, and this may be hard to believe, but there's a ghost following you" i stared right into his eyes. he was dead serious. "uhm. there's a what." "i know its hard to believe but you see that girl in that seat?" he had pointed to my sister "she's the ghost of house 372 I've never seen her go this far from the house before but-" "excuse me what... ok i don't know what your blabbing on about but all i see is my.. openly unintelligent.. sister." he stared at me blankly.. then it seemed the pieces finally clicked in his head because his eyes widened and his mouth dropped open. 

"YOUR SISTER LOOKS JUST LIKE HER" what. "sorry- what. I'm lost explain-" "so, the house you happen to live next to, the acer's live there. they have lived there for around 40 - 50 years now. they don't have kids, they said so at the town potluck a few years ago,(one of the only times they've come to a gathering) nobody ever sees anybody visit them, but almost everybody has seen her." he explained "who is her?" i had asked "we don't know who she is, but we call her Everly" 

"wow that is ODDLY close to my sisters name. oh yeah speaking of names we- don't know each others uhm.. I'm Willow- my sister is Avery" "AHA-" he slapped his hand over his mouth and his face turned a faint shade of red "I'm sorry its just- willow- and Avery- your parents.. clearly- have a favorite-" he made a weird snort noise then i realized what he was talking about "I'm sorry but  are you implying that because my sisters name is Avery my parents love her less" i purposely made it sound like i was a lot more offended than i was. "WHAT- NO IM-" "I'm kidding, chill out kid" i had said. "alright I'm already over this kid thing, my name is cooper. I'm 15" "nice to meet you cooper!" 

by now we had climbed off the dirty bus floor and onto a seat. my sister looked behind her and decided it would be fun to pull some stuff. she had hopped up from her seat and pranced over to us. "ooooo~ i see" i had sighed "what is it going through your idiotic brain now oh sister dear.." "oh nothing.. I'm just surprised you've got a boyfriend on your first day" ........ "AVERY JENIFER TOMSON-" she had already ran back up the bus isle back to her seat and plopped herself down happily "jeez- sorry cooper- my sister is just-" i had looked over and he seemed to be.. frozen in shock..? his face was red and he was staring directly in front of us. i waved my hand in front of his face "hellooo earth to ghost freak.. ooh i like that, im gonna be calling you ghost freak from now on" his head snapped in my direction "like hell you are" he pulled some sticky notes out of his backpack and wrote something on one.. then set it beside him. i couldn't read it but i was suspicious.

when we arrived at school the bus had stopped at bout 3 other stops. i got out second to last with cooper behind me, cooper. im now adding to my mental notes that he's a clutz because he had tripped on the last step off of the bus. he caught himself.. using my back-.  at least he didn't fall i guess. anyway.. i was walking down the hallwa- "gah- oh crap I'm sorry i-" that happened. i looked up. i had run into a girl with her face caked with.. a lot more makeup then a 15 year old should be wearing. she was a red head.. her hair was curled into ringlets. the school gave us the option of uniforms, since society has changed.. anyway she was wearing the uniform.

 "oh goodness gracious im sorry!" woah- i didn't expect that, i know the saying don't judge a book by its cover but SHEESH i did NOT see that coming. "no no its me who should be sorry i ran into you-" "hush now Hun, oh lordy, you scraped up your knee when you fell. this wont do.." she talked with a DEEP southern accent and by the looks of it so far, her personality did NOT go with the way she looks.. 

"oh dear.. does it hurt?" my knee wasn't even hurt that bad and she was acting like i was gonna need it amputated or something "oh.. no its fine uh-" a little blood had started dripping then and she.. uh "oh dear! here lets go to the nurse" "oh no its fi-" THIS WOMAN. a 15 year old girl. picked me up bridal style and walked me down to the nurses office.. cooper had walked past us in the hall and just watched us go by smirking.. "help me" i had mouthed at him.. he casually gave me a thumbs up with a big toothy grin and walked away.

once we had got to the nurses she plopped me down on the bed and found a band aid and stuck it on. "you- really didn't have to do that you know" "oh i know. i just like seeing how potential friends will act if i do that, like a test" potential friends- does this mean i passed? "oh-" as she was washing her hands i had thought it was a good time to bring up the question.. "so uhm- hey i was wondering.. what do you know about this 'Everly of house 372' chick?" "oh that las? everybody here knows about her, she haunts that old couples' house out eastward there. yep shes a creepy one, she watches people through the windows of the house and some people who go on night walks down that way see her outside wandering the area, apparently she's never gone more than a few yards away from the house though." hm "yeah i don't like going into that neck of the woods very much, she freaks me out" she had followed up. 

"well im willow!" i thought it was about time we stopped talking without knowing ANYTHING about eachother "nice to meet you willow! my names harper." "nice to meet you harper! we should probably get to class before were late" "sp'ose we should huh, well ill see you later then shrubs" she walked out of the room.. shrubs.. oh.






well that's enough of that, I'm not sure how i feel about this chapter but i think i like it lol did you get the joke i made at the end ;) no ;-; oh- well uh her name is willow- willow is a tree yk.. plant.. shrubs.. ANYWAY be on the lookout for the new chapter >:)
